Chen's mother smiled faintly, and though her complexion was sickly pale, it did nothing to diminish her beauty.
Chen Zhi always thought that her mother was so beautiful and conducted herself with such refinement, hardly resembling an ordinary citizen.
Could it be that her mother was actually born into a rather nice family?
But her mother never spoke of her past, not even about her father, whom she had never mentioned either.
Chen Zhi's intuition told her that her mother must have experienced many painful events in the past, which is why she was reluctant to recall anything.
"Xiaozhi, you go ask the doctor when I can be discharged. Staying in the hospital every day, even a healthy person would get sick," Chen's mother longed to return to her own home, their small, cozy place.
"Okay, I'll go ask in a bit."
Chen Zhi went to ask, and the doctor said her mother's condition had stabilized for the moment and she could be discharged at any time.
